Note
Ensure the treacle and butter are melted but not boiling hot when adding to the dry ingredients to prevent cooking the egg prematurely.
If you do not have black treacle, you can substitute with molasses for a similar flavor profile.
These scones are best served immediately while warm and fresh from the griddle.
Adjust the amount of milk slightly if your batter seems too thick or too thin; it should be a dropping consistency.
